Philippians 1:27a (NKJV) Only Let Your Conduct Be Worthy
Philippians 1:27a (NKJV) Only Let Your Conduct Be Worthy
Four priorities that have built our past 25 years – and those that will build our future:
John MacArthur:
“To live in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ is to live a life consistent with God's revealed
Word. That includes living a life that corresponds to the divine truth Christians profess to
believe, preach, teach, and defend. The church's greatest testimony before the world is spiritual
integrity. When Christians live below the standards of biblical morality and reverence for their
Lord, they compromise the full biblical truth concerning the character, plan, and will of God. By
so doing, they seriously weaken the credibility of the gospel and lessen their impact on the
world.”
Something to consider - one of the greatest weapons you can use against the devil is a
consistent life.
Think about it…as Christians, we must never live beneath our theology.
A.W. Pink
“The church that does not evangelize will eventually fossilize.”
Think about it…far too many people see the gospel as a task and not as a treasure.
Think about it…the church is the only place on earth that exists for the benefit of non-members
more than to its members.
2. The priority of our unity
Philippians 1:27 (NKJV) Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that
whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast
in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel.
Think about it…Adversity does not make us what we are, but rather adversity reveals what
we are.
Something to never forget - what got us here won’t necessarily get us there.
As 2020 approaches we must remember that the churches that love their methods more than
they love their mission will die.
